Aaahh i remember now.. you painted your wheels not too long ago huh? flat or satin black.. Now glossy.. I really hope you prepped your rear with sanding and a primer first or else after a few washings you are gonna rub right through it and get some nasty red splotches..

I'm not knocking you for wanting to change things up a bit but quick and easy mods sometimes don't work out to well in the long run and you are left with the guilt of, "Damn i should have waited and done it right"or" FuQ i rushed it!"... been there, done that.. Just not to this car. That is why it's taking me sooo long to get where i want with it (time and money)

Anyways again not to be a hater cause i kinda digg the rear blacked out, seen it only a few times. I might do it to my car since i have a blacked out grill and roof too.

maybe i am a worry wart hope it all holds up

Yea I sanded with a few diffrent grit papers primed and sprayed also sanded the bumper seection with some 220 to get that paint to stick. I'm also thinking about painting the front bumper section black and I'm gonna have the roof done professionaly black

Cool.. I always thought of painting the vertical lines of my front lower grill black.. may have to try a photoshop of it.. great to hear you did the painting right..

I had a boss awhile ago when I did custom carpentry that said, "Remember the 7 P's of life kid. Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance." I luv'd that saying. Guess it kinda stuck with me..
